DWR to host archery clinic March 3

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to shoot a bow and arrow?

A golden opportunity to find out is waiting for you on March 3. That's the day the Division of Wildlife Resources will host a free family archery clinic at the Emery County Recreation Center at 75 S. 400 E. in Castle Dale.

From 6 p.m. until 8 p.m., families and individuals can come and try out the sport of archery. Bows, arrows and targets will be provided, free-of-charge, to anyone who wants to participate.

"If you or your children have ever wanted to shoot a bow and arrow, this is a great opportunity to do so without buying equipment or making special arrangements," says Brent Stettler, regional conservation outreach manager for the DWR.

Stettler says supervision, training in how to shoot a bow and arrow and all of the equipment you'll need to participate will be provided. "The event is free," Stettler says. "Pre-registration is recommended so we know how many persons to expect." For more information or to pre-register, call Stettler at 435-613-3707 or send an email to: brentstettler@utah.gov.
